The first o f these birds were turned looee in Oregon a- boul twenty years ago, and when the law declared open season they were well started.

Eight years ago it was found that as a result o f this promiscuous shooting the birds w e r e nearly exterminated, and a stringent law was at* once passed so that since that time there has been on ly one open season, and that was two years ago. This haa left the birds un molested, and aa a result they now abound in large numbeia.
